La die-cutting (or die-cutting) is an industrial process that involves applying high pressure using a press and die to cut a material into a predefined shape. This method is particularly suited to medium and large production runs, where consistency and speed of production are essential.
At ADDEV MaterialsWe use mechanical and hydraulic presses to stamp technical films, single- and double-sided adhesive tapes, foams, electrical insulators and plastic films. Each project is developed according to your specifications to obtain tailor-made shapes perfectly suited to your applications.
Press cutting offers a number of industrial and economic benefits:
Reproducible accuracy Dies ensure perfect consistency over long production runs.
High productivity Speed: press speeds optimise unit costs.
Material versatility plastic film, technical adhesives, paper, foam, fine metals.
Economies of scale An initial investment in the matrix that quickly pays for itself.
Fast, clean cutting even for complex multi-layer materials.
La die-cutting has applications in many industrial sectors where precision and repeatability are crucial.
Cuttingelectrical insulators (polyester film, Kapton® type polyimide, insulating paper).
Production of washers, shims and spacers for motors and transformers.
Temporary protection for electronic assemblies.
Cutting of sealing foams and technical joints.
Adhesive films for electrical wiring and harnesses.
High-resistance technical and traceability labels.
Surface protection films and technical masking.
Custom-cut composite parts.
Lightweight, strong solutions for structural assembly.
Ribbonsthermal and acoustic insulation cut to size.
Seals for ventilation systems.
Films to protect fragile surfaces during installation.
As an expert in converting and technical cuttingADDEV Materials offers a differentiated range of services:
Multi-material expertise technical adhesives (3M, tesa, Nitto, Eurobands), insulating films, foams.
Extensive industrial capabilities mechanical, hydraulic and rotary presses to meet all volumes.
Tailor-made support from die design to series production.
Certified quality compliance with industrial standards and batch traceability.
Optimised logistics solutions tailored to BtoB needs in Europe and internationally.
La die-cutting uses a die and high pressure, ideal for medium and large production runs. The rotary cutting is more suited to very large continuous production runs thanks to its rotating cylinders.
Plastic films, adhesive tapes, paper, technical foams, electrical insulators, thin metal films.
The initial cost includes the manufacture of the die, but this is quickly amortised for recurrent or volume production.
It is possible, but the laser cutting or CNC is often more cost-effective for prototypes or small quantities.
